The latest figures were released by the First Minister at a briefing this afternoon.

The latest figures comes after Tory MPs have broken ranks to call for controversial Boris Johnson adviser Dominic Cummings to quit a day after it emerged he travelled 260 miles during strict coronavirus lockdown.

They spoke up after denials and refusals from Downing Street and leading Tory government ministers.

Cummings drove from his home in London to visit parents in Country Durham having previously shown symptoms of lethal Covid-19.

Scotland's Secretary of State, Douglas Ross resigned over the scandal.

The Prime Minister’s key adviser insists he’s done nothing wrong.
